Also I can make out Rosaria (Ok) as Teresa Italiano's mother's given name but I can't seem to get the surname (maybe Agiola)

And I am assuming that the children belong to Nicolo and Teresa. (Yes) Was this a common practice to add such information to a marriage document later? Only when, such in this case, the parents were not married at the time of the child's birth. Or better: they were surely married, but only with a religious rite, and for the State their children were illegitimate. So, at the moment of the civil marriage, they declared to recogize the already born children like their legitimate and natural sons. This situation took place until 1929, when were signed the "patti lateranensi": after that date the religious marriage had also a civil value.

No, Luca, I am the one who should apologize for his poor language skills. Your contributions are quite valuable and greatly appreciated.
Is this document dated 2 Feb 1895? It seems the religious ceremony took place prior to 1886. Was the date of the religious rite ever included somewhere in the civil document?

My films came in at my local FHC and I happened upon a few interesting documents. I think it was a pretty good day. This birth announcement is slightly different than others I've seen. Was the child healthy?

...I couldn't understand the word following "bambino" near the end of the document...

... bambino suddetto (above-mentioned).
The first name of the mother could be Andreana (with only a "n"); in the left column it seems written "Andriana", but i think that Andreana can be the right form.

Did the marriage take place on Christmas? I can't make out the notations in the left margin and the phrase after Ignazio's name following the word Comunale. Also the "foglio" notations on the right side of the document, do they refer to the church records or the Civil records?

This second page of the document is difficult, especially the writing in the upper left.

I will leave it to Luca who's eye and expertise are much better than mine, however I believe that the annotation on the left margins says that Ignazio Dragotto was the widower of Stefania di Paola (?)
